I've reasoned to not buy anymore, for investment. I never held a large amount of a coin, up to a few hundred dollars, but I've reasoned this.
Every public key related to an exact private key.
The algorithm to keep the private key a secret is very complicated.

I know if you google about brute force cracking public to private keys, it would take something, like, millions of years, with the current technology.
Though, I've also read, a few years ago, about things like "Rainbow Tables", that find patterns and stuff while trying to crack stuff, in a complicated way.
Now, Technology, and I'm thinking software now, is obviously evolving at increasing rate.

Artificial Intelligence is to.

I was looking plainly at a public and private key, and though, they're a bunch of keyboard keys , and one relates to another, so, they're the same thing, private
key, public key.

But obviously I couldn't find a pattern simply by looking at the characters. Maybe someone very smart could looking at a few hundred or so and figure it out, that would be wild.

Anyway, obviously some kind of pattern COULD exist, and I'm not saying I'm right, because I do not comprehend the cryptography behind it, I only know some basic coding in a couple languages, but nothing about cryptography. I do know, that a lot of smart people, are working on AI, as it's the future of stuff.

So, why couldn't a coder, start coding, methods where the software its self, in an AI way, start finding patterns in these private and public keys? I haven't been looking into BTC in a while, maybe there's articles about this already, but I was just thinking about it.

I think its possible a group, or someone, could find a pattern, using advanced code, Ai in mind, to decipher public keys.
The method of how it's encrypted is known, (Though, Wow, it seems confusing)
But the fact that that's known, and that it's a series of characters, means, there could (I think there IS) patterns to easily crack any public key, with a very sophisticated method, AI coding (If that's a term)

If that happened, and groups of people figured this out, the whole thing and all the alties would collapse.

Those are my thoughts. I don't "invest" anymore though I think its a great future as a currency even in practical non-tech environment, like a credit card.

What do you think?
